Sweet 80s

Typical of being strong on the outside but dry on the inside.

Her biggest problem is that she can't put herself in the right position in the Lin family.

As Ye Lu said, Pan Dayun always thought that his parents-in-law were weak and easy to talk to, and were not capable of shouldering the responsibility of being the head of the Lin family.

Lin Xiangguo's character is timid and he cannot support the role of the main pillar of the family, which indirectly affects Pan Dayun.

Over time, the responsibility fell on Lin Xiangguo and myself.

It is important for people to know themselves. What Pan Dayun obviously lacks is self-awareness, which is why he lives the way everyone in the Lin family hates him.

After Lin Xiangli left, Ye Lu came.

Ye Lu is calmer and more capable than Lin Xiangli, and even better than Lin Xiangjun.

He wanted to give the other party a warning but ended up being taught a lesson instead. No matter how straightforward Pan Dayun was, he had to think before he spoke.

Otherwise, given Ye Lu's personality, it would only take a few minutes for her to embarrass herself in public.

After returning to the room, Lin Xianghong took her daughter Xu Yuanyuan and niece Yan Shengnan to sit on the sofa and chat.

When seeing the four people coming back, Ye Lu sat down next to Lin Xiangjun with a proud look on her face.

Pan Dayun was the last one to fall behind, with a very grim look on his face, and he guessed what had happened.

So he moved to the right and asked Wang Shuping softly, "Did they have a fight?"

Wang Shuping quickly glanced at everyone and responded, "Yes."

"Nothing was said, I saw that my sister-in-law looked unhappy."

The whole process was too complicated and Wang Shuping didn't know where to start. She just shook her head and changed the subject.

"Nothing. By the way, second sister, when school starts again, Yuanyuan should be in the sixth grade."

"Yes, let her learn from Nan Nan. The transition from primary school to junior high school should be taken seriously from the sixth grade. I originally thought that I could try harder and get into Xiangjiang Middle School like Nan Nan, but it seems that it is not going to work. After several mock exams, her results are not ideal."

"Yuanyuan is so smart. She should make good use of the sixth grade to study hard. She has a chance."

"Haha~"

Lin Xianghong sneered twice. No one knows a daughter better than her mother. She didn't think so.

"She is indeed not stupid, but it is useless to be smart when it comes to studying."

Wang Shuping looked at Lin Xianghong who had a worried look on her face and comforted her.

"She has to realize the importance of studying. But then again, Xiangdong said this morning that he envied you and Fourth Sister, as well as Big Brother's family. The daughters there are obedient and sensible. They are better than these two brats in any way."

"Don't think like that. Whether you are sensible or not depends on the person."

Lin Xianghong quickly explained.

"You can't see her at home. She jumps high when she quarrels with me and her father, and her little mouth chatters..."

Seeing Wang Shuping's confused look, Lin Xianghong sat up straight and spoke seriously.

"Just watch, I'll show you..."

She patted her daughter's shoulder and asked, "Did you hear what your aunt said?"

Xu Yuanyuan, who was having a great time, looked up nonchalantly and said, "What? I didn't hear anything."

Lin Xianghong pursed her lips, raised her eyebrows, and repeated Wang Shuping's words.

"My aunt praised you for being smart and said you could be admitted to a key middle school in the city."

Lin Xianghong had mentioned the matter of taking the college entrance examination countless times at home, and Xu Yuanyuan would respond with an impatient look on her face.

"Mom, every day I keep repeating the same thing over and over again. There are so many people who failed to get into Xiangjiang Middle School, but aren't they all living well?"

After that, Xu Yuanyuan pulled Yan Shengnan up and said, "Sister, let's go out and play. My mom is going to start nagging again..."

The two children leave the room.

"See? This attitude is considered good, hey~"

After Lin Xianghong finished speaking, he stood up and returned to the table.

At this time, Pan Dayun picked up the dishes silently. He was in no mood to scold Lin Xiangguo who was happily drinking one cup after another.

Ye Lu chatted with the men.

Only Wang Shuping noticed the disharmonious atmosphere at the table.

Lin Xiangdong was drinking happily, and as the alcohol took effect, his gestures gradually became less restrained.

He waved at his two sons who were playing nearby: "Come here, sons."

"What's wrong, Dad?"

Lin Xiangdong pointed to a bottle of foreign wine on the table and said, "Do you know what this is?"

"liquor."

"XO costs hundreds of dollars a bottle. Come, let me give you a taste today."

After saying that, he actually picked up the chopsticks, dipped the wine in the cup and put it into his two sons' mouths.

The spicy taste of the wine irritated their throats, as if a hot flame was burning in their throats.

"Hmm~ It doesn't taste good. I don't want to drink it..." Erbao jumped and ran away.

“Hiss~ hot!”

Dabao, who was a few years older, complained and pointed at the wine glass and said, "Can I have a sip?"

"Oh, that's great, my son has grown up, come on!"

Lin Xiangdong admired Dabao's courage to try, picked up the wine glass and was about to hand it to him. Lin Xianghong, who was not far away, was looking at him and giggling.

Lin Xiangdong didn't know why his second sister was looking at him and smiling. The cup he held out was suddenly taken by another person's hand.

He raised his hazy eyes and looked over. Wang Shuping was staring at him angrily.

Lin Xiangdong's alcohol smell instantly sobered up by about 70%.

Wang Shuping's face was full of anger, with a sneer on her lips, and the cup in her hand was shaking violently.

She leaned over and whispered in Lin Xiangdong's ear, "Don't you want your son to drink?"

"No, no, no, how is it possible..."

Lin Xiangdong stood up in a flash, grabbed Dabao's head and pushed it aside, saying, "Go play somewhere else. The adults are talking, why are you here, little brat?"

"It wasn't you who asked Erbao and I to..." Dabao was about to explain when he was interrupted by Lin Xiangdong.

"It's nothing, go go go."

Dabao's little face turned red, and his eyes flashed with dissatisfaction and protest.

He grumbled as if announcing his dissatisfaction to the world: "Really, it's obviously... Humph! Adults are so annoying!"

After making sure that Dabao would not complain again after leaving, Lin Xiangdong pulled Wang Shuping back to her seat and said with a smile, "Wife, are you full? Do you want to order two more dishes?"

"Yes, that one... I really like the braised shark's fin. Go ahead and order it." Wang Shuping leaned back, crossed her legs and wanted to see how Lin Xiangdong would respond.

Lin Xiangdong chuckled a few times: "It's not as delicious as the garlic vermicelli baby cabbage you made. The fish bones prick my mouth, so I won't eat it~"

I wanted to say a few more words to discourage his inappropriate motives just now.

But looking at his red face with an expression of admitting his mistake, the words that were about to come out of his mouth were swallowed back.

Pan Dayun, who was standing by, picked up the last peanut on the plate in front of him, put it into his mouth, stood up and said unhappily to Lin Xiangguo who was still chatting.

"It's very close. I have something to do in the afternoon."

Lin Xiangguo was still reluctant to leave, but had no choice but to leave with Pan Dayun.

Ye Lu pretended to be flustered and stood up, then said to Pan Dayun with a smile on her face: "Sister-in-law, it's still early, please sit for a while."

Pan Dayun knew that the other party was being polite on purpose, so he pulled Lin Xiangguo out of the room without saying a word.

After they left, the remaining few people looked at the time and asked to leave as well.

At this time, Ye Lu walked to Wang Shuping and whispered something, indicating that they should stay until the end.

Wang Shuping understood, and after seeing everyone off, she pretended to be calm and leisurely tied Yan Shengnan's hair on the sofa.

When Yan Shengnan saw that everyone had left and only his family was left, he knew that there must be a special situation.

She cooperated with Wang Shuping very obediently.

But at this moment, the eldest and second child began to show impatience and kept urging to leave.

"Mom, I'm sleepy. When are we going back?"

"That's right, mom. Everyone's gone."

Wang Shuping rolled her eyes at them both: "When we're at home, we want to go out and play, but when we're out, you urge us to go back. If you two continue to do this, don't follow me to any occasion in the future."

Yan Shengnan chuckled.

"Big Treasure, we can leave after a while. Go outside and see if Uncle Three and Aunt Lulu are back."

In some situations, Yan Shengnan showed intelligence and understanding that was different from his peers, which Wang Shuping valued very much and also made her feel distressed.

Wang Shuping looked at Yan Shengnan with loving eyes, and her tone was filled with the tenderness of a mother: "Nannan, have you contacted your mother recently?"

"Yeah, I called yesterday."

"Summer vacation is coming soon. Are you planning to go to your mother's place?"

Yan Shengnan thought for a moment: "I haven't thought about it yet."

"Your mother said that the cities in the south are developing very well. If you have nothing to do during the summer vacation, you can consider going there to play for a few days. She must miss you very much."

After her hair was braided, Yan Shengnan sat up straight, with her head lowered, and kept rubbing the corners of her clothes in her hands.

After a moment, she suddenly sat up straight, turned her head with her eyes wide open and said to Wang Shuping.

"Aunt, when the holiday comes, you can bring Dabao and Erbao with you to go with me!"

"Ah? I..." The other party spoke very suddenly, and Wang Shuping couldn't answer directly.

Yan Shengnan pressed on: "Go ahead, go ahead. If you guys go, I'll go too."

"This...I'll go back and discuss it with your uncle first."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your letter, hehe..."

Yan Shengnan suddenly threw herself into Wang Shuping's arms.

Not long after, Lin Xiangjun, Lin Xiangdong and Ye Lu, who had gone out to see someone off, came back.

"Xiangjun, you, Xiangdong and the children wait here for a while. Sister Xiaoping and I have something to say."

After that, the two came to Ye Lu's office.

Unlike Lin Xiangjun, Ye Lu's office is arranged more like a single dormitory.

"Please sit down, Sister Xiao Ping. I don't like beating around the bush. I'll get straight to the point."

"Okay, tell me."

"What I said today was only directed at her. If some of my words were unpleasant, don't take them to heart..."
